'Pontzer's findings have huge implications for our attitudes to exercise, diet and public health' Mark Webster, Sunday TimesA myth-busting tour of the body's hidden foundations from a pioneering evolutionary biologist'Public health strategies stubbornly cling to the simplistic armchair engineer's view of metabolism, hurting efforts to combat obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and the other diseases that are most likely to kill us'Herman Pontzer's ground-breaking research has revealed how, contrary to received wisdom, exercise does not increase our metabolism. Instead, we burn calories within a very narrow range: nearly 3,000 calories per day, no matter our activity level.In this book, he draws on twenty years of cutting-edge science to take a closer look at what happens to the energy we consume. Burn explores the ways in which metabolism controls every aspect of our health - from fertility to immune function - and reveals the truth about the dynamic system that sustains us. Filled with facts and memorable anecdotes, this book will change the way you think about food, exercise and what really matters for your health.

'Engrossing, richly informative . . . challenges us to rethink universal health benchmarks' New YorkerAmbitious, controversial, there's a line of humour running through it too... I learned a lot' New Scientist A new way of thinking about diversity and what really unites us, from the internationally renowned author of BurnAs an evolutionary anthropologist conducting ground-breaking research with human populations around the globe, Herman Pontzer has come to see much more clearly how our genes and environments combine to shape our bodies and our health: for better or worse. In this book, he takes us on a tour of the human body and the surprising ways it can change in response to its environment: from the Andean groups who have developed increased lung capacity to the Sama divers who have larger spleens. He also highlights the critical ways we misinterpret biological adaptations: in healthcare, public policy and individual choices.With so much of our wellbeing and public discourse centred on human biology, a clear understanding of the distinction between socially constructed and genetic differences is more important than ever. This timely reappraisal of an overlooked science is an essential guide to our remarkable bodies.

"I Bränn presenteras mastiga fakta på lättillgängligt sätt, varvat med författarens egna forskningsresor och vedermödor i bush och laboratorium, förmedlat med stor dos självironi och humor."BTJ

I denna omskakande bok avslöjar Herman Pontzer hur vår ämnesomsättning verkligen fungerar. Träning ökar inte vår ämnesomsättning och gör oss inte smalare. I stället förbränner vi kalorier inom ett mycket snävt intervall. Detta var en framgångsrik strategi för att överleva i tider av hungersnöd. I dag kan det dessvärre leda till fetma.Boken är fylld av anekdoter från verkliga livet och från Pontzers studieresor hos de fåtal befolkningar som lever som människan gjort under lång tid tillbaka, till exempel hadza-folket i Afrika. De rör sig omkring fem timmar om dagen utan att förbränna mer än en person som aldrig motionerar. Å andra sidan kan elitidrottare driva kroppen för långt och bränna kalorier snabbare än deras kroppar kan ta upp. De största idrottsliga prestationerna är därför inte bara resultatet av effektiv träning, utan av ett häpnadsväckande effektivt matsmältningssystem.

Pontzers avslöjanden om människans ämnesomsättning kan i förlängningen förklara såväl fetmaepidemin i västerlandet som de verkliga hälsoaspekterna av fysisk aktivitet.

'Engrossing, richly informative . . . challenges us to rethink universal health benchmarks' New YorkerA new way of thinking about diversity and what really unites us, from the internationally renowned author of BurnReal diversity isn’t skin deep. Over the past 100,000 years, as humans expanded into every biome on the planet, our bodies and our cultures have been fine-tuned to our local environments. Beyond the physical demands of our climate, we live our lives immersed in ideas and norms that affect what we eat, how we move and why we get sick – all of which, in turn, affect how our bodies work.As an evolutionary anthropologist conducting ground-breaking research with human populations around the globe, Herman Pontzer has come to see much more clearly how our genes and environments combine to shape our bodies and our health: for better or worse. In this book, he takes us on a tour of the human body and the surprising ways it can change in response to its environment: from the Andean groups who have developed increased lung capacity to the Sama divers who have larger spleens.

Brought to you by Penguin. Why do so many diets lead to more weight gain?Do more active people have faster metabolisms?Is exercise essential for weight loss?Over the past twenty years, evolutionary biologist Herman Pontzer has conducted ground-breaking studies across a range of settings, including pioneering fieldwork with Hadza hunter-gatherers in northern Tanzania.This book draws on his eye-opening research to show how, contrary to received wisdom, exercise does not increase our metabolism. Instead, we burn calories within a very narrow range: nearly 3,000 calories per day, no matter our activity level.By taking a closer look at what happens to the energy we consume, Pontzer explores the ways in which metabolism controls every aspect of our health - from fertility to immune function - and reveals the truth about the dynamic system that sustains us.

Over the past 100,000 years, as humans expanded into every biome on the planet, our bodies have been fine-tuned to our local environments. Our ability to adapt is at the heart of being human and the engine of our diversity.As an evolutionary anthropologist working with human populations around the globe, Herman Pontzer has conducted research that reveals the wonder of our biological diversity, documenting the connections between lifestyle, landscape, local adaptations, and health. In this book, he takes us on a tour of the human body and the surprising ways in which it survives in an uncertain world: from the Andean groups who have developed increased lung capacity to the Sama divers who have larger spleens.With so much variation that can be handed down genetically, for better or worse, the way we understand our biology holds huge importance for how we understand our world and one another, including the biggest questions of our day, such as social inequality.
